How to set up a computer network without being hackers

Let's put into practice

Configuring netcards

To configure your computer network card, take a look at the following steps.

WINDOWS XP

1) go to Start -> Control Panel -> Network -> Properties
2) select TCP/IP protocol and click Properties
3) check 'use this IP address' and type 192.168.1.3 (your network card address)
4) in the subnet mask field type 255.255.255.0
5) type 192.168.1.1 in the default gateway field (your router IP address)
6) check 'use the following DNS server IP addresses
7) type your IPS's DNS server IP address in the favorite DNS server field

Notice that windows needed to set up the TCP/IP protocol can differ slightly depending on the Windows version (95/98/200/ME/NT/XP).

MAC OS X

1) click System Preferences
2) go to Network
3) select your connection (e.g. Airport if you are using a wireless connection)
4) click Configure
5) select TCP/IP
6) type 192.168.1.3 in the IP address field (your network card address)
7) type 255.255.255.0 in the Subnet Mask field
8) type 192.168.1.1 in the Router field (your router IP address)

LINUX

1) open a Terminal window
2) type 'vi /etc/resolv.conf' (you can also use the pico editor: 'pico /etc/resolv.conf')
3) type your ISPS's DNS server IP address in the resolv.conf file
4) type 'ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.3 up' (your network card IP address)
5) type 'route add default gw 192.168.1.1' (your router IP address)

Notice that if you are using a wireless connection, you must use the iwconfig command too. Type 'man iwconfig' to know more.
